Gurren and Lagann by AlexParkDesigns, on Flickr
My LEGO renditions of the iconic mecha Gurren and Lagann from the anime "Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann." This build was a grueling one, and it was especially tough to get the faces done well. However, I'm happy with the results - a combined mode may be coming soon!

Why hasn't anyone thought of this before? I'd like to see someone make a Bionicle music video with the Bioman theme playing. There's also a modern sounding version on the album Memorial Soldier. *the name comes from Choudenshi Bioman, the eighth installment of Super Sentai, and one of those "lost" seasons of Power Rangers, which derives much of it's footage from Super Sentai starting with Zyuranger.

I don't think we have a Gundam or Gunpla thread here so I'll make it myself. Anything related to the Mobile Suit Gundam brand and franchise is fair game here as long as it's safe for BZP. Talk about your favorite Gundam anime/manga/comic/novel/video game/magazine/cave painting! Show off your Gundam cosplays! Even cardboard boxes that say "GUNDAM" on them are welcome! (I've done it myself!) Show us your Gunpla, straight builds and custom builds of all scales and grades are welcome! Talk about Gunpla customization techniques! Got a cool backstory for your custom Gunpla? Share it here! Post Gundam memes. Funny Gundam pictures/videos. Gundam fanart. Gundam headcanon theories. Whatever. Any and all Gundam and Gunpla content is welcome here as long as it's within BZP rules. Anyway, about me: Grew up with Gundam Wing, G Gundam, and Gundam SEED during the Toonami days. I used to build G and some Wing models back in the day, but since I was a kid I just played with them like I would any other action figure. Got back into Gunpla when I was 12/13 after a trip to the Philippines and the massive popularity of Gundam SEED kits over there. Prompted me to start watching Universal Century stuff. Didn't watch too much Gundam anime (there's a lot I still need to see) but I was pretty consistently into Gunpla from then until I was 18 or so. Just got back into it recently and started watching Iron Blooded Orphans (I've heard the fandom whine about this one, but I'm still pretty early into it and I'm liking it so far). Also getting into the Build Fighters series, which is pretty fun.

Maku's Diary Entry 1: “Summer in Ga-Koro” Dear Diary, Summer is the best time to be in Ga-Koro. All the prettiest plants are in bloom, there are beautiful Rahi birds in the sky and fish in the sea, and everybody just seems to be happier. It even feels like the darkness of Makuta is kept at bay by the sun’s light. I like to think that, if the Toa ever come to save us like the Prophecies say, they will come in summer. I was sitting on the beach today looking at the rock formation that overlooks the village. According to the Prophecies, Toa Gali, the Toa of Ga-Koro, will wear the Mask of Water Breathing, so my people carved the mask into the rock wall so we would always remember salvation will come. I had my stone tablet and carving tool and was writing what I think will happen when the Toa arrive. My final product was something like this: Kopaka turned away from Gali, trying to hide his expression. “Why, my brother?” Gali asked. “Why can we not be together?” Her eyes pleaded as did her trembling mouth. “Because …” the Toa of Ice said uneasily. “There is … another. Her name is Maku.” Behind her mask, Gali shed a single tear. No more, though, for she loved Kopaka enough to know that her beloved would be happier with the more beautiful, graceful Ga-Matoran villager. “I understand,” Gali whispered. “I hope you’re happy with her.” Gali hoped her words didn’t sound sour, because she did mean it in earnest. To her relief, Kopaka replied, “Thank you, Gali.” He continued, “You are a wonderful girl. But it’s just …” The Toa of Ice wanted to make Gali understand, but he knew he would have to word it carefully. “You don’t need to explain,” Gali insisted. “Maku is prettier, more enchanting, and wiser than I could ever hope to be. Maybe, just maybe, I’ll be half as much of a woman as she is one day.” Unfortunately, I had to be back at the village to help Turaga Nokama before I could get to the part where I save all the Toa and Turaga from a two-headed Muaka while blindfolded with just my bare hands and cunning wits. Last summer I procrastinated finishing my Chronicles, and summer ended and I just didn’t have the inspiration anymore. I’ll finish my Chronicles this summer for sure! The Next Maku’s Diary: Hahli is so Shy! Word Count: 397 This is a revival of one of my very first BZPower comedies, also titled Maku's Diary. I revived the concept seeking to make an anime-style slice-of-life BIONICLE story. Expect weekly updates, C & C is greatly appreciated.

Here's a theme where doing it anime style is appropriate, Ninjago!
Here I made a giant banner containing all five Ninja in their new outfits in the 2015 story arc. I'll also be doing more Ninjago fan art as well, seeing as how this and my anime style mesh more easily than BIONICLE.

Vahi, the Protector of Time, who used to guard the legendary Mask of Time found a suit of armor from a past time which granted him immense power. He dubbed it, "Tengen Toppa Goruden Toa" which means "Heaven-Piercing Golden Warrior" in the ancient Okotese language. He has since left the Mask of Time in the hands of other Protectors and left Okoto to pierce his fate and save a universe trapped in an endless cycle of violence. His last words to the Protector of Fire, who questioned his decision were, "Of course I must leave! Who the Karzahni do you think I am? Mine are the spear, flamethrower and blaster that will pierce the heavens and fined the mythical being Mata Nui. Farewell, brother. Do not believe in the Vahi that believes in you, or the you that believes in Vahi, but the you that believes in you." After that, the other Protectors never saw Vahi again, though they can sometimes hear the sound his finishing move, Giga Spear Slash.

Man, English anime dubs can be kind of hit-and-miss, as any anime fan knows, but ... wow. Ian Sinclair's Brook is just as good as Brook's original Japanese voice, IMO. Makes me want to watch the dub again, actually. I've been watching the subbed version of the show and have just finished the Thriller Bark ark, which is why I decided that I wanted to hear Brook's English voice. I must say, I am not disappointed in the least. -TNTOS-

Someone got loot Stuff! My september figma pre-orders, Kill la Kill's Matoi Ryuko and KanColle's Akagi, finally got here yesterday! Talk about quick shipping. (if my november preorders are like this, I will get them on christmas!) Here they are. It's kind of funny. I've never played KanColle (and the anime isn't for a couple of months still), and from what I've read it seems like the sort of weird fetishistic japanese kind of thing I wouldn't really like. But the designs for some of the ship girls are pretty rad, so I've found myself ordering quite a few KanColle figmas. On the other hand, Kill la Kill is an insanely weird fetishistic japanese kind of thing that I adore, because it is just so ridiculous and over the top, and at least it gets points for feeling more like a parody than anything. (pretty much like PSG) But the design is still admittedly pretty odd. Akagi won't come out of her package until tomorrow, but I just opened Ryuko, she's pretty great. Her facial expressions are perfect and spot-on and look so, so much better than they did on the prototypes. She's pretty much perfect except Senketsu's eye fell off as soon as I took her out of the package. Which is. Pretty terrible. I applied some clear nail polish to it after I took this picture, and it seems to have fixed it. So that's good. Nail polish truly is the toy collector's best friend.... Anyway, she's a good figure, but I'm still trying to figure out where the heck I'm even going to put her, considering, uh, well. Everything. Maybe I'll just keep the modesty game on front at all times....maybe.... Ryuko and Akagi are my 33rd and 34th figmas, respectively. It feels like it was only four months ago that I started collecting them...because...it....uh. Was. Anyway. Today I was finally able to buy Smash! It's the first game for the 3DS I've bought since Y, third overall (I'm REALLY getting great mileage out of my 3DS) and first real foray into the world of Smash. I've only tried out a handful of fighters, and I'm still pretty dang bad at it, but after spending about an hour fighting with a couple of friends online, there's no doubt about it: This gon be fun. I also picked up Braptor's Wing Striker, because I've been wanting this set all frickin' year. Braptor is one of my favorite Chima minifigures ever, and not having him had been bugging me forever. Plus, purple. Now If only I could get Spinlyn...

Gali Mistika vs Gorast Ok, so I wanted to redo that previous versions of these characters, for various reasons, and I wanted it to be an actual action scene. I ended up trying a very anime style action scene. However, Gali's pose and hair is mostly based-off of Lady Deadpool, because... uh why not? Anyway, I think I toned it down a lot compared to previous one, considering this just an action scene. The damaged armor is suppose to look similar to the Transformers movies, only it's not energon, but green Antidermis energy. (Remember, Makuta are really just armor controlled by evil glowing green energy goo.) Criticism, compliments, concerns? (If there is a legitimate issue. I will try my best to fix it.) (Oh and please no off topic nonsense... so if you have nothing to say about the actual picture then please refrain from commenting.) (Thank you)

Ok, so I wanted to draw two female characters... What? I so happen to like the female form. Just in case you were wondering, yes Gali is blocking... and yes her expression just means she doesn't like insects. I mean, who does right? So creepy... spider-ly hands.... Hahaha... *Oh and do look up Gorast's mask power, it might add some better context to what's going on in this picture. (Note... I totally did go back and changed a few things... Hahaha... I realized that the original version of this picture was a bit too detail for the younger views of this site, so I toned it down a bit.)

Second Try... only with Matoro's Inika form. Again I was lazy when it comes to shading it.... but I did use poses from a pictures of Kirito GGO, so this one is much more dynamic looking than my first try. Criticism or compliments, feel free to be as brutally honest as you wish, because a shadow of truth never killed anyone...

Behold! Matoro Mahri I wanted to try out my wacom pad, and I think I got the hang of using the drawing pad. It's not bad for a first try at it. However, I don't know why he ended up looking similar to kirito in sword art online season 2, you know kind of feminine... but heck, it's not my fault his set design has feminine features. Anyway, I got lazy by not adding shading like I normally would, but I might do that later. This took about 1 hour and a half to complete. I'm still new at using my wacom pad and the Manga Studio Debut 4.0 program it came with. So practice makes perfect... I guess? Criticism or compliments, feel free to be as brutally honest as you wish, because a shadow of truth never killed anyone... (Oh and here's a link to a voice audition for Matoro, which inspired me to draw him in the first place.)

So, I recently started a 30-day trial for Amazon Prime, and Clannad is able to be streamed on Amazon Instant Video for Prime members. I've heard really good things about this anime and its sequel, so I'm pretty excited (I haven't found it anywhere else before). I'm only three episodes in right now. I gotta say, the two main characters are pretty adorable so far. Her parents are equally adorable. EVERYTHING IS ADORABLE, AAAAAAAAA! Anyway, it also looks like it will be dealing with some more mature themes, so I have a feeling I'm in for a feelsy show (but I already heard as much anyway). Anyway, after watching the ending credits (along with references in a few other anime shows), I seriously need to research dango and see if I can find ingredients to try making it some time. I mostly just have no idea what it is (I assume it's like a colored sweet bread type thing? Cake?) GET OFF MY LAWN! ~Tekulo <3 (PS: I've kinda been considering taking a break from my blog theme for a bit and making it slightly more normal. It's probably not that big a deal, but I'm also kinda curious as to what my many devout fans couple of internet friends and random people off the street think)

Alphonse Elric By KittehWubbins Now, I attempted to make Alphonse Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist. If you are unfamiliar with the series, then here is a picture of him from the show: So, here is my creation, and unfortunately I was extremely low on bluish gray, so I had to just use dark gray mostly. I could have incorporated HF pieces but I wanted to make this strictly system and technic based. No, unfortunately he is not hollow, but he does have his bloodseal. And yes, I did use 8 Bionicle parts. meh The legs, I tried to make them very thick just like in the show. For the loincloth, I used kleenix put in between pieces. I did my best on the back, it turned out ok. And yes, that is toothfloss for the horse hair. The articulation turned out better than I thought it would. He has a fair amount of articulation in the arms and knees but not the head. Either way, I like it. Please leave some feedback, I intend on improving on it but not for a while. I am satisfied with this and surprisingly the thing that took the longest was the head. I used the same sort of design as that one blue robot from the 2005 robots Creator set. Knights Kingdom also played a big part in this considering all his limbs are composed of them. Thanks.

Between this and the German version of the first opening (which you can watch
), I am forced to conclude that the German dub of One Piece must be awesome (even though I haven't seen even one episode of the German dub). This is a valid scientific conclusion based on ten minutes of research on YouTube, so I think I know what I am talking about here. -TNTOS-

Now who doesn't like Magical Girls? Nobody, that's who. Your friends? One of them owns a Sailor Mercury doll. You see that guy across the street? Knows all of the Pretty Cure's speech by heart. Your gym teacher? Cried during the ending of Madoka Magica. That racist neighbour who never shuts up about guns? ... Okay let's ignore him. Who doesn't love supergirls in frilly dresses bringing own pain on injustice while looking marvelous doing it? But basically, Mahou Shoujo. This thread is about them. Your Sailor Moons, your Pretty Cures, your Madoka Magicas, Cardcaptor Sakura, Tokyo Mew Mew, all that good stuff. Some of may may even really like Cutie Honey and Flower Child Lunlun. But enough from me now. So who's looking forward to that Sailor Moon reboot and musical? And wasn't that new episode of Doki Doki PreCure just hilarious?

Well, here she is: Gali, Toa of Water Was mostly happy with how this turned out. First time drawing water, which was interesting and aggravating at times Just so you know, her armour is over her normal clothing... which is on top of a black body suit that comes out when her armour is activated... yeah, should have just gone with the body suit Anyway, C&C much appreciated Astris Janus

Because the old one died. Discuss Japanese media (not video games, there are a couple threads for that) here. Let us start with something simple. What's the last anime you watched, or the last manga you read? Whoops aaah nevermind just ignore this
